English Grammar Subjects

In this lesson, our instructor Rebekah Hendershot goes through an introduction on subjects. She starts by explaining what a sentence and subject is. Then she discusses the simple subject, complete subject, singlel subject, compound subject, and how to find the subject.

Professor Hendershot, in this sentence, 'What my cat does all day is no concern of mine', is the subject 'What my cat does all day' a subordinate clause?

Professor Hendershot, for your second example of the simple subject(5:00)wouldn't you omit "the" because it is an article?

Here is the sentence: the phrase "like the cat that ate the canary" describes a smug person.

Thank you
